Ristorante Trattoria La Grotta dal 1918 "da Bruna & Figli" In Sasso marconi

The food was very well prepared, good, and tasty. Service was prompt despite the restaurant being packed. The prices were good considering the quality of the food. Highly recommended.

We visited on a Saturday for lunch and had a truly special experience. We were welcomed by Andre Funi, who passionately explained the restaurant's history and concept, the meticulous sourcing of raw materials, and the attention to detail paid to each ingredient, selected with respect and sensitivity for the local area. It was wonderful to see the hand-rolled pasta in the main dining room: an authentic gesture that speaks of tradition, care, and love for cooking. The dishes were all excellent, balanced, and full of personality. You could clearly taste the quality of the ingredients and the work that goes into each preparation. The chef, in addition to being an excellent cook, is a true artist: each dish manages to combine technique, creativity, and emotion. A place where hospitality, tradition, research, and cuisine come together in an authentic way. We will definitely be back!

We went for lunch on Saturday and luckily we found Chef Andrea: besides being a great chef, he's a friendly, knowledgeable host with an eye for detail. The restaurant retains the soul of a historic trattoria, enhanced by design elements by Gavina, and also features a truly exceptional outdoor terrace. We tasted several dishes, from the great classics to the chef's own creations, and not a single one was anything but spectacular. The pasta is hand-rolled on the spot, right in front of you in the dining room, and the ingredients are all locally sourced. There are also unique dishes invented and patented by the chef, who even produces his own wine. I can't wait to return to try everything I didn't get to this time. Congratulations!

The attention of the chef and the staff is exceptional. The menu is received a day before. Nice idea. Local products and the ancient bolognese flour among them. Goody. Not too long neither too short selection of food on the menu, so you can choose, but not needing an hour to go through all options. Servings are well designed, but not over-designed. And what is most important, each plate with the distinct taste. Local cuisine on the highest level. wine list is reasonably long, but we followed chef’s recommendations, which was very good idea. Definitely worth taking a 40 minutes trip from Bologna.

An experience everyone should try at least once in their life. Spectacular food! Impeccable service! The portions may be a little small.

In a beautiful, even haunting, setting, we were welcomed by attentive staff and enjoyed unforgettable dishes, the quality of which is high in every detail. I would have preferred a slightly larger portion of the wonderful fried artichokes (an appetizer, of course), but the roast horse beef was more than satisfying. Every dish was excellent. The wines were also amazing; we chose a Pignoletto and a Lambrusco produced on the estate. We'll definitely be back and will recommend it to all our friends. Bravo!

A caress for our palate and our soul, yes, because this was our experience at this wonderful restaurant in every way... A very evocative location... The staff is nothing short of fantastic, with a kindness and cordiality that is unmatched nowadays, and the presence of the chef in the dining room who brightens the evening with his welcome presence... as well as with unique dishes expertly composed with excellent raw materials combined in a very balanced way to make the culinary experience unforgettable and rich in authentic flavors...!! What can I say? An evening to repeat as soon as possible, also to try new dishes that are offered weekly to take advantage of the seasonality of the products and guarantee their freshness. A heartfelt thank you from Chieti 🙋‍♂️🙏

Every dish we ate was delicious. The appetizers, the pasta, the dessert. Although there wasn't a vegetarian menu, when we mentioned we were vegetarian, they adapted some of the dishes accordingly 🍀💚 Also, while it's impossible to find a pet-friendly Michelin-starred restaurant, seeing your dog treated like a true guest was invaluable 🙏🏻

We had lunch with you on Sunday, April 19th, and you were a wonderful surprise: a quiet place, attentive and meticulous service, and friendly, smiling faces. From the very descriptions of the menu, we understood the chef's passion for offering guests authenticity and carefully selected, local products. Hearing the chef chat with us, his guests, to share his curiosities and passions made us feel truly pampered. Between conversation and delicious dishes, we enjoyed our lunch. Congratulations to the entire staff.

A true treat for the palate! A journey through tradition and the flavors of yesteryear, without sacrificing refinement and a touch of innovation! A wonderful welcome and a journey to discover products made with such passion and professionalism, accompanied by Chef Funi, who lovingly explains each of his dishes! A very interesting wine cellar: a list that doesn't offer a thousand choices, but quality!
